Another home built guitar

[straycat]

I'm heading over to metalhead28's on Sat to look at this awesome guitar so I'll give a full report.

My God! I wish i had the talent to build my own $5K axe.. (yep, thats
what it looks like it's worth! Wow... your a regular PRS!

[straycat]

I'm so stoked to get an up close look at this piece of art.Its design is so tasty and pleasing to the eye.Well my eyes anyway.LOL

[metalhead28]

Haha, I wish I could churn out a 5k axe!

Straycat, I wish I had the finishing touches done but I've been too covered up the last couple weeks to get to it. You can still play it though!

[straycat]

I'll bring a couple of my parts builds and you can play them fair enough?

[metalhead28]

Very Cool!!!! I like building also. I have a couple of friends & we like to build Guitars & Mandos together & always come up with something that is wild...Inlay is fun, it can make or break a guitar & as you can see I went just a touch over board on this..here is a link to the latest:

Pretty damn cool guitar, and nice job on the inlays!

I'm trying to plan an inlay for my next guitar, I want to do something sort of intricate but not over the top. Haven't came up with a gameplan yet...

Sounds like a plan.

Cool let me know what you come up with. It is funny because the inlay can take you as long to cut as building the whole guitar if you want to cut detailed inlays. It is a blast to do & I always enjoy seeing the final product. Building guitars Rocks!

Simply amazing!!!! Awesome work buddy. I wish I could do something similar myself.

Well met up with MH28 today and yes the guitar is "that" cool.Very well done nice weight too.Nice tone acousticly also.The grain of the wood just pops right out there.
This guitar is stunning up close just amazing.The neck is very much like a Jackson neck on the back and 16 degree radius fretboard is very comfy.
He had another of his there and it was very nice as well.
We cruised around to some pawn shops and music stores I for one had a great time.
Will is a great guy and let me tell you he knows how to build a fantastic guitar.
I think we have worked out a deal on #2 of this run.He's going to pick out some wood and shoot me some pics and we will go from there.
Thanks again Will.

I like the offset dots on the fretboard. needs a floyd

[metalhead28]

Thanks for the kind words. I had a good time pawn shopping and I'm still debating going back for that Jazz Bass.....

I'm looking forward to building you a guitar, I'll be in touch soon - I'm going wood shopping this week.

[straycat]

Cool! Foulacy we did discuss the floyd option.I have a bunch of floyd style guitars so this one I want to be different.
The hipshot bridge looks perfect on this guitar.What would be cool is to recess the bridge just a little to give more adj to the string saddles by doing that put more down force on the strings as they break over the saddles it might give it a little different sound.
To me this guitar is the perfect design the body is compact sleak and carved like my old Kramer stagemaster which I absolutly love and the neck is just the right thickness. Nice flat radius,and a straight string pull from the bridge to the tuners and a killer headstock.
That was a great deal on that bass.
The pleasure was all mine Will.

I'm planning to do a small "production run" of sorts and I'd like to advertise them here for anyone who might be interested - but I have a feeling that such a thread is against the rules.

Can anybody verify that?
